Product Description

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this brand recently at Isetan KLCC. Global is one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives in the world, widely used by prestigious chefs around the world. It has a very firm grip, with just the perfect weight and sharpness. I have been using the one I bought regularly and am most satisfied with its performance.

Global brand has indeed become one of the most popular knife suppliers in the industry and with good reason. Handcrafted in Yoshikin’s factory in Niigata, Japan, to meet an incredible high standard, these knifes are made using a special type of stainless steel known as Cromova 18. This stainless steel material is of just the right density, so it has the correct balance between softness and hardness; it is soft enough to easily sharpen, but hard enough to maintain the finely sharpened edge for a long period, even when used frequently. These knives use a combination of vanadium and molybdenum to create their razor sharp edges.

In fact, during the last few years, GLOBAL knives have won a number of prestigious awards:

1990 – Japanese Good Design by MITI

1991 – Selected for International Design Year Book

1992 – Selected as Best Cooks, Knife in Benelux

1995 – Selected as BEST BUY by WHICH? Magazine in the UK

1996 – Selected as Sharpest Knife by A LA CARTE Magazine in Germany

2001 – GS-29 Design PLUS Award in Fraukfurt Messe

2003 – Selected as BEST BUY by WHICH? Magazine in the UK

2006 – GLOBAL knives were selected as one of “Japanese Mdern 100 Awards, so-called “J-Mark” by The Japaneseque Modern Committee.

2011 – Selected as BEST BUY by WHICH? Magazine in the UK

A pretty comprehensive range of GLobal products is sold in Isetan KLCC (note: I have not checked if Isetan Lot 10 carries this brand) and Parkson at Pavilion, KL.
